Until December 1999, mopeds used the same parts of the road as bicycles, except on those explicit cycle path on which only bicycles were allowed. On 15 December 1999, Within the framework of the Start-up Programme Sustainably Safe, the moped moved (on urban roads) from the cycle path to the carriageway. Only in situations in which the speed limit for motorised traffic was 70 km/h or faster, did this measure not apply.
